Kieran Tierney’s potential move back to Celtic could be in jeopardy following a serious injury sustained during Scotland’s 1-1 draw with Switzerland at Euro 2024.
The Arsenal defender, who has struggled with injuries throughout his career since Celtic, was stretchered off the field after his leg appeared to bend awkwardly.
Tierney, valued at £10 million by Arsenal, has fallen out of favour at the club, spending last season on loan. His return to Celtic had been widely speculated as the Scottish champions look to strengthen their squad. However, this latest setback could put a halt to any transfer plans.
Scotland manager Steve Clarke confirmed the severity of the situation post-match, stating, “He’s definitely out [of the Hungary match]. It looks pretty bad, but Kieran won’t make the next game. You have to feel for him. He’s a top player for us, and someone else has got to step up.” [TalkSPORT]
This injury not only impacts Tierney’s Euro 2024 campaign but also casts doubt on his club future, with a lengthy recovery potentially ahead.
You’ve got to feel for him, injuries have stopped him from getting to the very top. At 27 years old, he’s at the peak of his career and will be looking to get some minutes on the pitch, rather than on the physio bench.
